France and Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema has dropped his appeal against his one-year suspended prison sentence and €75,000 fine for complicity in a bid to blackmail former France teammate Mathieu Valbuena with a sex tape, the French media reported on Saturday. During last year's trial, the Versailles court convicted Benzema of involvement in an attempt to blackmail Valbuena in 2015 which saw him exiled from the national team.
